This provision is inadequate

n The management team does not seek advice on how to act on safeguarding issues in a timely manner, which places children at significant risk. n The management team has a weak understanding of the requirements relating to data protection and the storage of electronic information. n The monitoring of teaching is not robust enough to help staff raise the quality of teaching to a higher level. The manager has not identified some inconsistencies in staff's practice, and the quality of teaching is variable. n Staff do not always teach children well. Staff do not plan and provide consistently stimulating experiences, and they do not ensure that all children receive the best support for their learning.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is inadequate

Safeguarding is not effective. The management team demonstrates some knowledge of the signs that children's welfare may be compromised. However, managers do not respond swiftly to share relevant information with statutory agencies, or to seek advice, to safeguard children. This places children at significant risk of harm. The management team is not aware of the requirements relating to data protection and the security of digital images taken in the nursery. That said, managers follow appropriate recruitment and vetting procedures, and they check the ongoing suitability of all staff. Parents provide positive feedback about their experiences of the nursery. They find the staff team approachable and supportive, and they feel that their children enjoy attending the nursery. The management team considers the views of the parents in the self-evaluation process. However, managers do not reflect well enough to ensure that children are

adequately safeguarded, or to ensure that systems to monitor the quality of teaching are helping to maintain standards and improve practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment requires improvement

Overall, staff's assessments of children's development are accurate. However, some staff working with older children lack knowledge and confidence on how to use the information in practice. This means that some of the planned activities do not support the children's next steps in their learning or provide appropriate challenge to enable them to make good progress. Furthermore, some staff, when asked, did not have a clear understanding of the skills and knowledge the children are acquiring. That said, where teaching is strong, older children develop an interest in early writing and are beginning to understand that print carries meaning. For example, they search for their name card on arrival and they pretend to write the orders for food in the role-play café.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are inadequate

The management team does not promote children's safety and welfare adequately. The weaknesses in safeguarding practice compromise children's well-being. Despite this, staff are kind and caring, and children show that they are happy and settled. Children behave well. Staff offer appropriate guidance and boundaries, reminding children of the importance of sharing and being kind to each other. Staff provide children with daily opportunities for outdoor activities in the fresh air to help improve their well-being and good health.

p.3

Outcomes for children require improvement

Inconsistencies in the quality of teaching mean that children do not always receive the support they need to make the best possible progress. Nevertheless, they happily make choices in their play and are learning to become independent and take care of their own needs, including managing their own personal needs when using the bathroom. Children do develop some basic skills that help to prepare them for their future learning and the eventual move to school.
